Comparison: Paper vs Digital vs DIGI CLIP

When it comes to managing light vehicle pre-start checks, not all tools are created equal. Traditional paper-based checklists are prone to errors, delays, and lost documentation—while generic digital forms often lack the functionality needed for full compliance and real-time reporting. This is where DIGI CLIP stands out.

The table below compares paper checklists, basic digital forms, and DIGI CLIP’s purpose-built mobile inspection app—so you can see exactly how each solution stacks up for safety, compliance, and operational efficiency.
